Description: |
| One of four patents issued to Stanley for their system for replaceable blades for woodworking planes. The system included the replaceable blades, a blade holder, and a specially designed capiron to fit over the replaceable blades. Stanley marketed the system from 1925 to 1932 in 3 widths: 1 3/4"; 2"; and 2 3/8". The claims for this patent are for the blade holder and the means for holding the replaceable blades with screws.
This patent, along with 1,440,649 for a plane designed to hold the Ready Edge blade (not known to have been produced), 1,651,634 for an improvement to the bladeholder, and 1,662,005 for a hinged bladeholder (not known to have been produced) covered the Ready Edge blade system. Although two of Stanley's major inventors worked on this project, the system evidently did not enjoy commercial sucess and the blades remain rare. |
